A photograph of an indoor satsang setting with two men in close interaction. On the left, a seated man with long dark hair tied back, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, wearing a rust-red wrap and a braided rudraksha-style cord, sits on a red-cushioned seat beside gold ornamental fabric, placing his right hand on the forehead of a standing man. The standing man has short white hair, wears a white long-sleeved top and a red-and-white lanyard, and has his palm raised in a gesture of acceptance. Behind them are dark speakers, a projection screen and beige wall panels. The seated figure may be a person, based on the long hair, rust-red wrap, rudraksha cord and seated, honoured position, though this is uncertain. The scene appears to be a blessing given during a gathering.

December 10 20132013-12-10A photo of a blessing moment indoors. A person with short dark hair, bare-shouldered in a rust-red and gold garment with heavy gold bead necklaces, reaches forward and places a hand on the forehead of a man with short white hair. The man wears a white t-shirt, a red and white beaded mala, and a wristwatch, holding one palm up in a hand gesture. Behind them, a man in white with an orange-red shawl stands in a softly lit hall with dark wood panels and white curtains. The gold-clad figure appears to be a presiding figure with the appearance of a person in a ceremonial role, though the appearance cues are not conclusive.2013-12-17March 08 20142014-03-08A photograph of two men in close interaction at an indoor event. On the left, a man with long dark hair pulled back, wearing a rust-red and gold-trimmed wrap and a rudraksha-style necklace, sits and extends his arm, with his palm raised toward the forehead of a man on the right. The right man wears a white kurta-style shirt, has short hair, and holds his hands up in a blessing gesture as he bows slightly. Behind them is an ornate gold chair and a gold-coloured object on the left, with a projection screen on the right.2013-12-10December 06 20132013-12-06December 12 20132013-12-12A seated man with long dark hair pulled back, wearing a rust-red shawl over his shoulder and a gold-toned chain with rudraksha beads, places his palm on the forehead of a short-haired man in a white long-sleeved top. The recipient holds his hands in anjali mudra and wears a rudraksha bracelet. Behind them are beige padded panels, a gold-coloured fabric and a red cloth at the left edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, ornate clothing and ceremonial beads, so Swamiji (probable) is the appearance-based label for this in-person blessing moment.2013-12-03December 17 20132013-12-17March 07 20142014-03-07March 17 20142014-03-17December 08 20132013-12-08A photograph of an indoor satsang-style setting with a man in a rust-orange robe with a gold-edged border and a long rudraksha-style mala, seated and smiling as he places his right palm on the forehead of a older, shaven-headed man in a white long-sleeved top with a red and white beaded mala. The second man holds his right hand open toward the seated man, eyes closed. Gold ceremonial objects and a gold-coloured stand appear in the lower left, with a pale wall and wooden panel behind.
